I do not pay 30 gold per ingot, to be honest the only reason to buy bulk ingots is to fill iron armor and weapon bods. Normal (not exceptional) BoDs can be filled cheaper by simply buying the requested items from an NPC smith. I have books with nothing but Bods that are not worth it to fill.

Add to this the fact that with .1 smithing and .1 tailoring you always get normal simple bods and you can get them every hour and there are simply plenty of simple bods available as timer resets.

That being said, I buy ingots on my shopping trips when I find them at reasonable (IMO) prices.

You can get a new BOD everytime you turn one in. I do not even collect BODs anymore. I just chain them out when I fill like doing them. All those wortless cloth and weapon bods do have a use now.

I think you missed what I was trying to say, I collect easy to fill bods on accounts/characters with .1 smithing and tailoring and fill them from NPC vendors to use as timer resets on my crafter. The Bods that the collectors (.1 tradeskill) get are never exceptional and always Iron or regular cloth, so they are easier and cheaper to fill from NPC vendors than they are to craft items to fill the bods.

I'll take them. I need iron for bone machete, shuriken, bola, blacksmith add ons and the like. With my new duties at Stratics finding time to mine is hard. They're a bit more expensive than I'd like, but I need them, so I'll pay it.
